The '''Marikina Science High School''' ({{lang-fil|Mataas na Paaralang Pang-Agham ng Marikina|}}), known as '''MSHS''' or '''MariSci''', is a [[Philippines|Philippine]] public science [[high school]] (a high school using the Special Science Curriculum) located at Mayor Juan Chanyungco Street, Sta. Elena, [[Marikina City]]. It is an [[Government spin-off|offshoot]] of the Marikina Institute of Science and Technology which split up on November 9, 2001. The current principal is Ms. Janet S. Amurao, who took office on June 18, 2019 replacing Ms. Jeanette Coroza.

==History==
[[File:MSHS 2009.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Marikina Science High School in 2009]]
Marikina Science High School was founded on 18 July 1947 as Marikina Junior High School through Municipal Council Resolution No. 59 s. 1947. This is done to jump start higher education in the town of Marikina, which was then under the administration of [[Gil Fernando]]. Fernando then became regarded as the "Father of Secondary Education" in Marikina, who worked together with Tomas L. Santos after [[World War II]] to recognize his integrity, eloquence and learning for the rehabilitation of schools.<ref>[http://marikinapolytechniccollege.blogspot.com/2010/07/history-of-mpc.html MARIKINA POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE History]</ref> In 1952, it changed its name to the Leodegario Victorino Memorial High School (LVMHS) in honor of Leodegario Victorino, former councilor of Marikina; renamed as Marikina School of Arts and Trades (MSAT) in 1957; and again as Marikina Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) in 1978. This is where Marikina Science High School traces its origin. On November 8, 2001, the secondary level was separated from Marikina Institute of Science and Technology, giving way to the establishment of what is now Marikina Science High School. Meanwhile, through Republic Act 9289, the college sector of MIST was renamed as [[Marikina Polytechnic College]] (MPC) in 2004.<ref>[http://www.zamboanga.com/z/index.php?title=Marikina_Science_High_School_-_Santa_Elena Zamboanga.com: Marikina Science High School]</ref>

==Admission==
Grade 6 students who are bona fide residents of [[Marikina City]] can take the entrance examination of the school.<ref>MSHS Application Form. Retrieved 2010.</ref> The entrance test results and the interview results determine if the student is eligible for admission. Those who pass the examination and the interview, which tests reading comprehension, are eligible for admission. In 2011, the school system decided to remove the requirement for incoming students to have residency in Marikina. This opened the school to accepting residents from neighboring areas such as [[Quezon City]], [[Pasig City]], [[Antipolo]], [[Cainta]] and [[San Mateo, Rizal|San Mateo]], [[Rizal]]. Students who plan to enroll should inquire at the school for details.

==Curriculum==
The school uses the weighted mean system in assessment of a student's academic performance. A unit value of 1.5 is given to the major subjects (Math, Science and English). A unit value of 1 is given to the minor subjects. A 0.5 unit is given to foreign language. A zero unit is given to HRO and Religious Instruction. This system was adopted in order to put emphasis and importance to the fields of study being focused on a specific year level.<ref name=smart/>

In 2012, the school complied to the [[K–12 (education)|K-12 education]], the latest major change in [[Education in the Philippines|national education in the Philippines]], which added two years to secondary education.
